By the players bench there lay
on a diamond one fine day,
a base ball in gown of white,
just by her side there sat,
her sweetheart Mister Bat,
their eyes beamed with love light:
To the ball then said the bat:
"Won't you tell me where I'm at,
why do you tease me when we play?
When I'm standing at the plate
in the batter's hands I wait,
Why do you dodge and run away?"

Base Ball Brains
Shoot 'em over kid,
it wins the games,
just hang it on the ball,
or put it to the bat,
you players of great names,
hit the horse hide oh you champs,
on the glad rag glue your lamps
the bat, the ball, just make 'em fall,
get wise to Base Ball Brains.

Base Ball Brains
Shoot 'em over kid,

or put it to the bat,
you players of great names,
hit the horse hide oh you champs,
on the glad rag glue your lamps
the bat, the ball, just make 'em fall,
get wise to Base Ball Brains.

Said the base ball to the bat,
as he hit a mighty swat:
"I'm sorry to treat you mean,
for tho' you love me true,
hobnobbing much with you,
you know I can't be seen,
what makes me act so shy
when to caress me you try,
and cause you so much needless pain;
It's the Pitcher, dear, you see,
he is jealous quite of me,
I'll try not to pass you by again."

Base Ball Brains
Shoot 'em over kid,
it wins the games,
just hang it on the ball,
or put it to the bat,
you players of great names,
hit the horse hide oh you champs,
on the glad rag glue your lamps
the bat, the ball, just make 'em fall,
get wise to Base Ball Brains.

on the glad rag glue your lamps
the bat, the ball, just make 'em fall,
get wise to Base Ball Brains.
